    Just because you cannot think of any particular area doesn't mean you have forgotten it all. Take a practice test to see where you are at and see if you really have forgotten a lot. It should identify your weaker areas. If you are doing well, maybe move your test up- a month is a long time to forget.

    28 days is a lot of time for review. If you've covered all the material, I'd do a comprehensive progress test (use Becker, NINJA, whatever you have available) to determine your weakest areas. Hit those until you're scoring in the 80s on those areas. Then go back to comprehensive. This is where NINJA MCQ really comes in handy because it is designed exactly for that kind of diagnostic approach to studying.

    I felt this way about BEC in my final week of review (last week). I felt like I understood everything as I went through it the first time and completed the homework assignments, but when I started doing comprehensive progress tests, I had that panicked thought of “OMG, I don't remember any of this!” It slowly went away as I just kept pounding the MCQs.

    Specifically as it relates to FAR, make sure you can do the journal entries for the questions you come across. Even if the question doesn't require you to identify a debit or credit, if you can write out the proper journal entries, it is safe to say you know the material well enough to pass the exam. As an added bonus, you WILL have to do some journal entries on your Sims, so you'll be better prepared for that, too.
